perfect for halloween

i was driving home from my sister's the other morning and along the river bank in the trees and bushes were several big spider webs.  the morning was wet and the sun bright.  i was fascinated and had to turn around to get some pictures.  the grass was overgrown and wet with dew as i walked closer to the brush and started shooting.  looking down at my wet feet i discovered that there were thick webs on the ground as well.  i quickly got some pix and made a hasty retreat to the car hoping there were no spiders on me... of course once in my car, i could feel them crawling on my legs.  lol  never did see one...sheesh...the mind is a powerful thing!!  anyway...here are a couple...they look surreal, but what a perfect time of the year to post them.  happy halloween everyone!

i resigned my position the first of july with the intent of taking the summer off.  i had plans on getting out with my camera and taking some great shots...well the summer has quickly passed, and while i did work a couple of days a week, i have no idea where the time went.  i sure didn't do what i wanted to with my camera and photography.  here it is fall, and i need a job...have something promising with the company i'm still with...but it hasn't come through yet...and did get out with my camera a couple of times, but it's all things i've shot before....i really need some motivation to get out of this slump...something to stir my creative side.  oh well...maybe this job will work out and i'll know something this week.  here are a few pix i took a couple of weeks ago at crockett state park, lawrenceburg, tn.

monday photo shoot

Your Monday Photo Shoot:   Picture something in orange. As a challenge, don't take pictures of actual oranges (the fruit), and picturing actual pumpkins seems a little too easy too. Other than that, go for it.

orange is a wonderful color...we find it in nature...
